Developing further mono-culture forestry does not improve bio-diversity and may impact it adversley depending on the existing environment it will replace. Additionally, continous replanting of areas with the same tree species alters soil composition and makes the whole area susceptible to disease (Canada is currently a mass die off due to the spread of a fungus). This would have more value if planted with mixed forestry that can provide several types of wood for selling on, some of which will have a premium value over standard conifer plantations. Hopefully that is what is being planned.
